ST. Ron Santo Cubs Jersey . LOUIS -- The NFLs
Rams are gone, and attention in St. Louis now turns to soccer with an ownership
group pursuing a Major League Soccer expansion team.The effort includes plans to
build a $200 million stadium downtown that would require millions of dollars in
public funding.The ownership group revealed Thursday is known as SC STL. Paul
Edgerley, a partner at the investment firm VantEdge Partners, is lead owner and
chairman. Among his partners is Dave Peacock, former president of Anheuser-Busch
and a driving force behind the effort last year to build a $1 billion riverfront
stadium for the Rams.The football stadium plan died when the NFL in January
approved Rams owner Stan Kroenkes request to move the team to Los Angeles. Since
the departure of football, efforts to secure an MLS team have escalated.The MLS
is already adding two new teams to expand to 24 by the end of the decade, and
eventually plans to add four more, league spokesman Dan Courtemanche said. St.
Louis is among eight markets that have publicly expressed interest in the four
additional expansion slots, Courtemanche said. A timetable for when those cities
would join the league has not been determined.Commissioner Don Garber said in a
statement that league officials have had very productive meetings with Edgerley
and his partners.With its rich soccer heritage, St. Louis has always been a
market of great interest to Major League Soccer and SC STL is the ideal
ownership group that will provide St. Louis the best opportunity for a future
expansion team, Garber said.The open-air stadium would have 20,000 seats with
the ability to expand to 28,500. It would sit next to St. Louis Union Station
and encompass about 24 acres on land near Interstate 64 currently owned by the
Missouri Department of Transportation. The city has an option to buy the site,
but the value is still being appraised.SC STL said it would fund much of the
stadium construction cost, but St. Louis voters in April would be asked to fund
a significant share, up to $80 million, according to the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Specific details on the public portion are still being worked
out, but the spokesman for the ownership group, Jim Woodcock, said the stadium
will only be built if the league approves a St. Louis team.Getting it on the
ballot is no sure thing. Though the NFL plan was eventually approved by city
aldermen, the debate was often contentious. Alderman Sam Moore said at one
meeting that some residents live in Third World conditions while taxpayers were
paying for stadiums. Messages left for Moore on Friday were not immediately
returned.The ownership group said it also will work with the state for financial
assistance related to site development and infrastructure.The stadium would be
within about a mile of two other downtown sports venues -- baseballs Busch
Stadium and the Scottrade Center, home of the NHLs Blues. Jon Lester Jersey .C. - The Carolina
Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an
unspecified lower-body injury. John Lackey Cubs Jersey . No. 13-seeded John
Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of
the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players
who withdrew on Monday. http://www.cubsauthorityshop.com/t-shirts/ .
The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in
that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose.SSP Chawrasia
held his nerve down the final hole to win the Hero Indian Open for the first
time after four times finishing as runner-up. The home favourite was involved in
a battle with compatriot Anirban Lahiri, the defending champion, for most of the
final round but the tournament was not decided until the 72nd hole in New
Delhi.Chawrasia struggled for much of Sunday, dropping shots at the sixth and
10th, and he was quickly caught by playing partner Lahiri, who got off to a
flying start by carding birdies at the first three holes. But Lahiri stumbled at
the ninth and he was only able to make up that dropped shot at the long 14th to
get back within a shot of the leader, who had birdied the 13th to return to
level-par for the round. Hero Indian Open Final round scores and positions
Chawrasia scrambled well to make pars at the 15th, 16th and 17th and, with
Lahiri unable to better those scores, he took a single stroke advantage on to
the tee at the par-five closing hole.The 37-year-old, twice a winner of
co-sanctioned European Tour events, found the fairway with his drive but hooked
his second, which took a slightly fortuitous bounce into the light rough.
Chawrasia made up for losing in a play-off last year to win the Indian Open
Lahiri missedd the green with his approach and Chawrasia produced a superb pitch
to within five feet, his playing partner giving him a round of applause, such
was the quality of the shot. Fergie Jenkins Jersey. Lahiri missed his
birdie putt to hand the title to Chawrasia, who holed for birdie to make the
final winning margin two shots over Lahiri and Koreas Jeunghun Wang.I was a
four-time runner-up in this event and I was thinking for a very long time, I
have to win this tournament, Chawrasia told Sky Sports. Thats my dream and I got
it. Defending champion Anirban Lahiri had a frustrating day after starting with
three successive birdies Wang produced one of the rounds of the day to move up
three spots, his 68 including four birdies, but he was unable to make the most
of a very lucky bounce on the last, where his second shot bounced into the
fairway after appearing to be heading into the jungle.Fourth place was a tie
between Brazils Adilson da Silva and Angelo Que of the Philippines, who made the
biggest move on Sunday thanks to a round of 65 that included seven birdies.But
it was another disappointing day for Australian Terry Pilkadaris, the halfway
leader, who closed with a four-over round of 76 to finish six strokes off the
pace. Also See: WATCH: Woods Bay Hill glory WATCH: Golfers top 3s WATCH: The

Liverpool lost ground in the title race with a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham on
Sunday. Esa Tikkanen Jersey .It all seemed to be
going to plan for the Reds after five minutes when Adam Lallana finished smartly
into the bottom corner after Sadio Mane had picked him out in the box, but two
errors soon changed things at Anfield.The first came from under-fire keeper
Loris Karius, who let a free kick from Dimitri Payet nestle into the bottom
corner despite managing to get his fingers to it on 28 minutes.West Ham then
took the lead after 39 minutes when the usually reliable Joel Matip, back from
injury, let the ball skip past him with Michail Antonio lurking and poked the
ball past Karius to give the Hammers a 2-1 lead at the break.Liverpool started
the second half well and were level just three minutes after the restart when
Divock Origi pounced on a mistake from Darren Randolph and tapped home into an
empty net.The home side continued to apply pressure but the Hammers stood firm
and for once this season looked impressive at the back. The Reds soon ran out of
ideas and West Ham hung on for a deserved point.Its certainly a case of two
points dropped for Liverpool, whose title credentials seem to be coming under
question, but for West Ham there are definitely signs of improvement. Jari Kurri Oilers Jersey . Jeff Green scored
13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point,
second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since
Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with
Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season. Paul Coffey Oilers Jersey . LeBron James and
Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes,
Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition
season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. http://www.oilershockeypro.com/authentic-leon-draisaitl-oilers-jersey/
.com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round
winners Tuesday at the Australian Open. Can anybody truly say they thrive as the
target of social and physical hostility? In any of lifes myriad endeavours,
competitive or otherwise, success is usually achieved in spite of hostility, not
because of it.So the logic goes in much of Australian cricket. While the battle
is officially between bat and ball, there is an unofficial social dimension to
combat too. And while we only whispered it softly last week, our time-honoured
tradition of creating cold, hostile atmospheres for batsmen is otherwise a
matter of chest-thumping pride. A welcome batsman is a sleeping batsman, because
that scenario is the stuff of dreams.In a week where public introspection
threatened but never quite manifested, it wasnt just at home that our cricketing
philosophy was under the microscope. Earlier in the week, Kepler Wessels, the
former South Africa captain who also played for Australia, derided the
embarrassing and totally ineffective sledging of the Australian players as they
eventually slumped to a 5-0 whitewash against South Africa.Speaking on the same
issue 24 hours later, in-vogue Australian batting coach Trent Woodhill said, We
need to get away from this mentality of weve all played the game, youve got to
be tougher, youve got to be harder, youve got be noisier, youve got to be
louder, because its basically bullshit.In an increasingly saturated game, where
contests feel automated and matches blend into one another, Woodhills point,
sacrilegious as it is, has the ring of truth. But can Australians divorce
themselves from their deep-seated cultural attachment to noise and
hardness?Perhaps more important is whether wed even be willing to. Hostility is
celebrated in our cricketing culture, and those who can demonstrate it best are
revered for it, in the main. The views of Wessels and Woodhill swim against an
Australian tide that protects the divine right to intimidate like fanatical
Americans do their guns. Its who we are, weve always been this way, and were
proud of it. Despite Woodhills argument that its not even advantageous to
winning, one feels that any attempt to change those attitudes would be regarded
as soft, and as a result, unthinkable.If we were willing to engage in some
introspection, our view of bouncers may be a good place to start. Lets be honest
about them: beyond the odd occasion where they are legitimately deployed as a
defensive tactic against rampant batsmen, bouncers in cricket are like fights in
footy. For most, there is a visceral pleasure in watching seasoned athletes put
every part of their bodies at risk for sporting success. Or when it comes to
fights, some kind of mascculine honour. Ben Scrivens Oilers Jersey. We know its wrong
but it feels so right.Australians watched Mitchell Johnson against England in
2013 with an almost primal satisfaction. The blood-curdling fear of the English
batsmen released a spiritual type of pleasure, because this was as Aussie as
Aussie could get. But its worth asking: are there any other ball sports that
legally permit opposition engagement with the head? Even in that sport notorious
for attacking the head, rugby league, the laws at least attempt to prevent it.To
ask questions of our relationship to hostile cricket isnt to call for radical
change, if any. But our automatic dismissal of the mere possibility that there
might be something to learn from this weeks conversations, both home and abroad,
says more about us than the event itself.The cricket world watched as the NSW
Coroners Court held an inquest into Phillip Hughes death. Concerned about unfair
blame and the creation of witch hunts, the Australian public rallied behind the
players involved, understandably so. While the court pondered the events of the
day, the court of public opinion reached its decision quickly and emphatically:
This was a freak accident. No one is to blame. Sledging and intimidation are
part of the game. Only harm can come from this, we chorused.While there may be
something darkly instructive about the certitude of our response, it is - more
than anything - a raw expression of sympathy for the players involved. But there
were some uncomfortable truths at play too, and the almost knee-jerk refusal to
engage in collective reflection about what happened on the field that day is
revealing.Because if ever there was an event significant enough to warrant
simple introspection about the way we play cricket in Australia, then surely
this was it.Of course, nobody wanted what happened at the SCG to happen, and
blame is not the point; thats undisputed. But there is a sense that we have
missed an opportunity to think with some depth about the impact of Hughes death
on our cricketing philosophy.Because while the inquest was importantly about a
young mans life and the moments before and after the incident, the examination
may have initiated important contemplation about the game more broadly. The main
questions may have become: How important is hostile cricket to us? How proud of
our intimidatory approach should we really be?If, like most, your conclusion is
very, then thats fine. The important part is that the question was considered at
all. Cheap NFL

RIO DE JANEIRO -- After all the bad blood, all the debate over Yulia Efimova
being allowed to swim at the Olympics, Lilly King was the one wearing gold. Erick Aybar Padres Jersey .The American won
the 100-meter breaststroke on Monday night, holding off the reigning world
champion from Russia in what some will surely call a victory of clean athletes
over the dopers.Efimova arrived in Rio as one of the symbols of the massive
Russian doping scandal, an athlete who had already served a 16-month suspension
and tested positive again this year for the now-banned substance
meldonium.Efimova was initially banned from the Olympics, but that decision was
overturned on appeal. King took umbrage at Efimovas finger wag during the
semifinals and said she intended to compete clean for the U.S.After staring down
Efimova in the ready room and giving her a look of disdain on deck, King led all
the way to take the gold with a time of 1 minute, 4.93 seconds.Efimova, who
heard a round of boos and a few cheers during the introductions, settled for the
silver in 1:05.50. The bronze went to another American, Katie Meili.I really
dont know how I even reached the final ... it would have really been the end of
a fairytale, a horrible dream, if Id won gold, Efimova said after the race, her
face red from crying. But that was all I could do right now.King didnt
acknowledge Efimova during a raucous victory celebration. Finally, as the two
were picking up their credentials at the side of the deck, King gave her rival a
quick pat on the shoulder.It just proves you can compete clean and still come
out on top with all the hard work you put in behind the scenes, behind the meet,
at practice and weight sessions, King said. There is a way to become the best
and do it the right way.Kings victory was part of another big night for the
Americans, who also extended their domination in the mens 100 backstroke with
Ryan Murphys victory and picked up six medals in all.But it was another stunning
disappointment for Missy Franklin, the darling of the London Games. She failed
to qualify for the final of the 200 freestyle, extending a mystifying loss of
form since turning pro last summer.Hungarys Katinka Hosszu became the first
two-time gold medalist at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium, adding the womens 100
backstroke title to her world-record victory in the 400 individual medley.In
another result sure to stir the doping debate, Chinas Sun Yang captured gold in
the mens 200 free. Two years ago, he served a three-month suspension for taking
a banned stimulant.Murphy gave the Americans their sixth straight gold medal in
his event, rallying on the return lap to win in 51.97. The Americans last loss
in the 100 back came at the 1992 Barcelona Games.Australias Mitch Larkin set the
early pace but couldnt hold on. Chinas Xu Jiayu surged to the silver, while
another American, David Plummer, stretched for the bronze -- just
three-hundredths of a second ahead of a fading Larkin.It was quite a moment for
Plummer, who finally made his first Olympic team at age 30. Now, hes got his
first medal.Hosszu, known as the Iron Lady for her grueling schedule, took the
womens back in 58.45. Kathleen Baker of the United States settled for the
silver, while Canadas Kylie Masse and Chinas Yuanhui Fu tied for the
bronze.Hosszu sat up on the lane rope and made a heart sign in the direction of
her coach and husband, Shane Tusup.Yang rallied from his customarily slow start
to pass South Africas Chas le Clos and hold off American Conor Dwyer, touching
the wall in 1:44.65.Le Clos, who recently announced that that both of his
parents are battling cancer, went out with a totally different strategy. He
built a body-length lead over the entire field and tried to hang on. It nearly
worked.Yang surged to the front, but Le Clos managed to grab the silver. The
bronze went to Dwyer.Franklin finished last in her semifinal heat with only the
13th-fastest time among 16 swimmers. She touched in 1:57.56, which was actually
slower than her time in the afternoon preliminaries.As a bubbly, 17-year-old
high schooler, Franklin won four golds and a bronze at the London Games. But
shes endured a mystifying loss of form since turning pro last summer, struggling
just to qualify for two individual events and a relay at the U.S. trials.In
2012, Franklin competed in seven Olympic events.Now, all shes got left is the
200 backstroke and a likely spot on the 4x200 free relay team.---Follow Paul

.C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been
successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a
team. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was medically cleared
Tuesday to fully practice with the team.The Sacramento Bee first reported?the
development, and it was confirmed by ESPN.To get the green light to practice by
the team, the 49ers medical staff must agree with the assessment of Dr. Peter
Millett, who examined Kaepernick on Tuesday.Kaepernick was limited during
organized team activities and minicamp after undergoing offseason surgeries on
his left shoulder, left knee and right thumb. The 49ers begin training camp
practices Sunday.Millett, who performed Kaepernicks shoulder surgery, gave the
quarterback the OK after putting him through a series of tests, a league source
told the Bee. According to the newspaper, doctors were waiting to clear
Kaepernick until he got back some of the weight and strength he lost while
recovering from the surgeries.Kaepernick was a regular attendee of the 49ers
offseason workouts and said at the teams three-day mandatory minicamp in June
that his only focus was on getting healthy and reclaiming the starting job after
a tumultuous offseason that also included a trade demand, followed by a proposed
trade with the Denver Broncos that fell apart.Kaepernick, who helped guide San
Francisco to two consecutive NFC Championship Game appearances, went on injureed
reserve in late November last season, and Blaine Gabbert took over the
quarterback job. Jhoulys Chacin Padres Jersey. Gabbert took
almost all the reps with the 49ers first-team offense during offseason workouts
and minicamp, while rookie sixth-round draft pick Jeff Driskel and free-agent
addition Thaddeus Lewis worked with the backups.That has put Gabbert miles ahead
of Kaepernick in terms of learning new coach Chip Kellys system, although
Kaepernick tried to stay up to speed by going through the physical motions of
his dropbacks and reads while standing behind the rest of the offense.Kaepernick
said in June that he expects an open competition when the 49ers open training
camp.They havent said anything about pecking order or anything like that, he
said. All Ive heard is Chip has told me its going to be a competition ... and to
come in and be ready to compete. Thats going to be my mindset, and Im excited to
do that.Im ready to give this team everything I have. It was a great feeling to
be out there this week. The fan support that Ive gotten through everything and
especially seeing people out, the support that Ive gotten was amazing. Its made
me really excited to be out here and play. Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys

BLACKSBURG, Va. Joe Mullen Adidas Jersey . -- Virginia Tech
coach Justin Fuente downplayed any personal satisfaction derived from his teams
season-opening performance, but needless to say, he enjoyed most of what he
witnessed in his debut as the Hokies head coach.Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod
Evans threw for 221 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Hokies to a 36-13
season-opening victory over Liberty on Saturday, handing Fuente his first
victory.Fuente, who spent the previous four seasons at Memphis, took over in
January for Frank Beamer, who retired after 29 years as Virginia Techs head
coach.The atmosphere here is fantastic, Fuente said. Its what college football
is all about. People at Virginia Tech take a lot of pride in the game-day
atmosphere, and they should. It was incredibleMy thought process coming into the
game was how would our kids handle this? How do they respond when things dont go
well. There were some times when things were kind of ugly looking, but I liked
the way our kids dug in there and plowed away. The atmosphere was fantastic and
Im pleased with the way the kids responded to adversity.Fuentes decision last
week to name Evans the starting quarterback certainly looked like a good move
after Evans completed 20 of 32 passes. He threw touchdown passes on the Hokies
last two possessions of the first half to help Virginia Tech rally from a 13-10
deficit.It was a great feeling, Evans said. Its been nine months of hard work.
We finally got to showcase what weve been working on for nine long months. We
had some mistakes, for sure. I know on my part I had a lot of mistakes that I am
going to clean up, but it was exciting.Evans, who won a three-man battle for the
job, played less than three quarters. Fuente pulled him after he fumbled on an
option pitch -- his second fumble of the game.Some good and some bad would be my
first impression, Fuente said of his quarterback. We need to take care of the
football. He made some good plays in the passing game. My gut reaction is some
good and some bad.Liberty amassed just 160 yards of offense, scoring all of its
points off of Virginia Tech turnovers. The Hokies lost four fumbles.They made
more plays than we did, but well bounce back, Liberty coach Turner Gill said. We
will be a better football team from this ball game.THE TAKEAWAYLIBERTY: Liberty
quarterback Stephon Masha got off to a rough start in his attempt to replace
Josh Woodrum, a four-year starter. Masha completed 9 of 25 for 70 yards and two
interceptions. It was a sloppy debut overall for Liberty, which committed 13
penalties, including eight false-start penalties.VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies
defense struggled with consistency a year ago, but looked good Saturday.
Virginia Tech, which intercepted just 10 passes last season, had three, marking
the 41st time under defensive coordinator Bud Foster that the Hokies have
intercepted at least three passes in a game. Theyre 38-3 in those games.It was a
good starting point for us today, Foster said. I was pleased with how we played.
We didnt give up any explosive plays. All in all, I thought we did a nice job in
some sudden-change situations and on third down. I think they had 11 turnovers
last year, so that (forcing the turnovers) was big.UP NEXTLIBERTY: The Flames
will serve as hosts to Jacksonville next Saturday in Libertys home opener. The
game will be Libertys first against an opponent from the Pioneer Football
League.VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies now get ready to take on Tennessee at Bristol
Motor Speedway next Saturday night in a game that could set college footballs
single-game attendance mark. The two teams havent met in the regular season
since 1937. Bryan Rust Adidas Jersey . Their 38th

. Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very
little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see
anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Adam
Blair says he can never thank Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett enough for reviving
his career following his nightmare spell at the Wests Tigers.The New Zealand
forward will play a key role for his country against Australia on Sunday in the
Four Nations final and feels hes playing as well as he did during his time at
Melbourne.It was at the Storm that Blair became one of the most punishing
back-rowers in the NRL and it earned him a big-money move to the Tigers in 2012
on a three-year deal reported to be worth $500,000 a season.However, he and his
wife Jess and young son Harlem struggled to settle in Sydney.A combination of
being played out of position in the front row, a loss of form and being labelled
an expensive bust by the media made him lose his love of the game and his place
in the New Zealand team for the 2013 World Cup.We made the move and it tested
each others character but to be honest it made us stronger, Blair told AAP.We
had no family down there so it was just me, my wife and my little one.There was
a lot of media focus and atttention and I guess pressure on me - it was an eye
opener. Adidas Mike Ribeiro Jersey. I knew what it
was about in Sydney. But until you are there you dont really know.It was
football 24-7. I am just a quiet guy who goes about his business and doesnt like
being in the limelight.It was a tough time. But its part of the job so just have
to accept it and do your best. But I do feel I am better player for the whole
experience.The cash-strapped Tigers were more than happy to cut their losses and
release Blair from the final 12 months of his contract in November 2014.Almost
immediately Bennett was on the phone and made him one of his first signings
after returning to the Broncos as coach.Wayne first and foremost believed in me
and told me the things I can do for his team and I needed to hear that, Blair
said.He helped get my confidence back.He took a chance on me when my stock was
low and I owe him and everyone at the Broncos a lot. Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys

AUBURN, Ala. Mike Trout Jersey . -- Gus Malzahn was ready
to try anything to get a win for his Auburn Tigers.Malzahn relinquished
offensive play-calling duties. Following his daughters advice, he traded his
usual game-day visor for a cap. And then, when the clock expired and LSU players
were celebrating an apparent last-second win, the Auburn coach put all his faith
in a ruling he couldnt control.Daniel Carlson kicked six field goals and Auburn
beat No. 18 LSU 18-13 on Saturday night after officials ruled Danny Etlings
apparent last-gasp scoring pass came after time expired.Malzahn said he knew
there were only zeroes on the clock before the snap to Etling.I was pretty
confident time had expired, Malzahn said. It was just a matter of going to the
booth and confirming it.Etling rolled to his right and found D.J. Shark in the
back of the end zone on a 15-yard pass, setting off a short-lived celebration by
LSU players.I dont know if Ive ever come as close to winning a game and
finishing second as today, LSU coach Les Miles said.LSU center Ethan Pocic said
he it was unbelievable to briefly believe his team won.One second you do but
then one second you dont, but thats college football, Pocic said.The celebration
shifted to the Auburn sideline and the similarly dramatic turn in emotions.It
was terrifying, just knowing as an athlete, theres nothing you can do about it,
said running back Kerryon Johnson, who led Auburn with 93 yards rushing. ...
Just to see the clock run out and know its over officially made me feel great.It
was an important for Auburn (2-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) and Malzahn, who
faced increased criticism following losses to Top 25 teams Clemson and Texas
A&M.I think it will give us some momentum moving forward, Malzahn
said.Malzahn gave play-calling responsibility to offensive coordinator Rhett
Lashlee and said Lashlee will retain the role even after Auburn was held without
a touchdown.An illegal shift penalty against LSU (2-2, 1-1) left the Tigers with
a fourth-down play from the 15. There was only 1 second on the clock before
officials huddled. Miles said officials said they were adding 3 seconds to the
clock.We knew the referee was not going to blow a whistle, Miles said. He was
going to raise a hand and drop it and the clock was going to start. We were
trying to get off the play as fast as we could.LSU star running back Leonard
Fournette had 16 carries for 101 yards.THE TAKEAWAYLSU: The LSU offense must
improve if the Tigers are to realize their preseason expectations. LSU was held
to 338 yards, including 118 yards passing by Etling.Auburn: Defense continues to
be Auburns strength, but struggles by the offense drew sporadic boos from
impatient fans throughout the game. Improvements will be needed; it will be
difficult to pull off more SEC wins without reaching the end zone.POLL
IMPLICATIONSWith the loss to unranked Auburn, LSU could fall out of the Top 25
with its second loss in four games. The Tigers began the season No. 5 before
falling to Wisconsin in their opener.WAR BALD EAGLEMalzahn switched to a white
Auburn baseball cap after advice from his concerned daughters. My daughters said
something about me wearing a visor and I need to put on a hat because Im getting
bald, he said. I saw a replay and it looked pretty bad so thats the reason Im
going to wear a hat.TARGETING EJECTIONAuburn linebacker Tre Williams was ejected
for targeting in the second quarter. There was no flag after Williams
helmet-to-helmet hit knocked Etling out of the game for a play. A review by the
officials determined Williams led with the crown of his helmet on the hit.UP
NEXTLSU: The Tigers will face another SEC Western Division rival when they play
Missouri in a home game next Saturday night. It will be only the second meeting
between the teams and the first as SEC rivals. In the only other meeting,
Missouri won 20-15 in the 1978 Liberty Bowl.Auburn: Auburn will take a break
from its SEC schedule when it plays Louisiana-Monroe in its last of five
straight home games.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org

Tottenham have told Sky Sports News HQ they were always aware of head coach
Mauricio Pochettinos meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson, and have no issues with it.
Chris Tillman Orioles Jersey . Former
Manchester United manager Ferguson, who remains an ambassador for the club, was
pictured meeting Pochettino and his assistant Jesus Perez for lunch in London on
Tuesday.Doubts over the future of current United boss Louis van Gaal have led to
reports of interest in Pochettino and inevitable worry from Spurs supporters on
social media, despite the Argentine having declared he has a verbal agreement to
sign a new five-year contract at Tottenham. Jesus Perez, Spurs assistant manager
(far right), also attended the lunch But it is understood Pochettino and
Ferguson know each other from League Managers Association dinners and have
spoken publicly of their mutual respect and admiration as top managers and
coaches in the game.They had long agreed to meet for lunch at some stage and
their schedules worked out on Tuesday, due to Fergusons intention to be at the
final game at the Boleyn Ground - which turned out to be a United defeat to West
Ham. Ferguson has previously praised Pochettinos work with Spurs It is
understood Pochettino took Tottenham training in the morning, met Ferguson for
lunch at Scotts restaurant in Mayfair and then returned to the club in the
afternoon.Ferguson said of Pochettino in March: The manager has been fantastic.
They have a bad record of managers, there is no doubt about that. They have had
so many over the years.But this lad has composure. You never see him ruffled and
the way his team play is a testimony to the work he is doing. Also See: What do

Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett (knee) and safety Kam Chancellor (groin)
have been ruled out for Sundays matchup against the New Orleans Saints.And
Bennett could be sidelined for longer than just this week.Were going to check
him on Monday and see if theres something we can do for him, coach Pete Carroll
said. His knee bothered him after the game coming out so were going to take care
of him. Well look into seeing whats necessary next week.Carroll said the issue
is related to cartilage in Bennetts right knee and added that surgery is a
possibility.Bennett initially injured his knee in Week 6 against the Atlanta
Falcons, but he played 81 snaps in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. Carroll
said the latest injury might be related to the issue that surfaced against the
Falcons.There was a little something we found in the MRI, so were going to make
sure we know what were doing and take good care of him, Carroll said.Bennett has
been one of the Seahawks most disruptive defensive linemen with three sacks and
a team-high four tackles forr loss this season. Manny Machado Jersey. Second-year player
Frank Clark (4.5 sacks) will likely replace him.Chancellor will miss his third
straight game with what Carroll called a substantial groin pull. Kelcie McCray
will once again start at strong safety.On the offensive side of the ball,
quarterback Russell Wilson (pectoral/knee) was taken off the injury report and
will start.He threw every day this week, Carroll said. We kept it limited to
make sure we didnt aggravate it. He threw well today so he is ready to
go.Starting left tackle Bradley Sowell (sprained MCL) is questionable and will
be evaluated on game day. Undrafted rookie free agent George Fant will take
Sowells place if he cant play.Wide receiver Tyler Lockett is listed as
questionable with a thigh injury, but he will play, Carroll said.And running
back Thomas Rawls (fibula), who Carroll previously said had a chance to play in
Week 9, is still a couple of weeks away from returning. Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys

Plenty of misery stares Arsene Wenger and Arsenal in the face as he renews
hostilities with Jose Mourinho on Saturday, this time at venerable Old Trafford
against Manchester United in this early season crunch match of top-six teams in
the Premier League table. Cheap Pernell McPhee Jersey .Wengers
inability to defeat Mourinho at any point in his 20-year career at any venue in
league and cup play continues to be the main storyline any time these two
managers meet, and the pressure to end the spell ratchets higher as time passes.
The incessant sniping between the two only adds to the drama, with Mourinho
content to wear the black hat and antagonise the Frenchman seemingly to no
end.Almost always, Mourinho is the first to add spice -- or vinegar depending on
ones fan allegiances -- but hes also backed up all his pithiness with a 7-6-0
mark against Wenger.The one match he did lose, the 2015 Community Shield at
Wembley Stadium, Mourinho made the defeat secondary by throwing his medal into
the stands for a fan as he walked into the tunnel following the final whistle
and claimed Arsenal lost their philosophy by playing that match in a defensive
style similar to how he coached Chelsea.And after he took the Manchester United
job this summer, he fired a not-so-subtle volley at Wenger, saying: There are
some managers, the last time they won a title was 10 years ago, the last time I
won was a year ago. If I have something to prove, imagine the others. To finish
fourth is not the aim.For this match at least, Wenger is trying to downplay the
animosity between the two and instead focusing on the fact Arsenal (7-3-1) --
fourth and trailing the other Manchester side on goal difference but only two
points behind front-runners Liverpool -- have a chance to not only put more
distance between themselves and United (5-3-3) but also keep themselves in the
thick of the title race.Look, I dont think I have to describe our relationship,
the manager said at his pre-match news conference Thursday. He will fight for
his team and I will fight for my team and I think that is completely normal.You
know, we didnt lose always. We have beaten them and there were many draws as
well. I think I have won against every manager in the world during my 20 years
here and I do not make this game a competition between two managers … I think I
can understand that people want to create controversy, but its not that that
makes the audience. What will make the audience is the quality of the game.Yet
one can point to that quote with Wenger hanging onto that Community Shield win
to claim Mourinho is still in his head. And its just not that Mourinho wins
these matches, its the fact he completely flummoxes Wenger and Arsenal, one of
the most flowing sides in all of Europe.The Gunners have only five goals in
those 13 matches, failing to score on a Mourinho-coached team in a league or cup
match since Gilberto Silva converted a penalty kick in the 43rd minute of a 1-1
draw on May 6, 2007, a span of 587 minutes.To take it one step further, that
drought extends to 708 minutes in the run of play while Mourinho has been on the
touchline, dating to Theo Walcotts goal in the 12th minute of the 2007 League
Cup final, a match Chelsea rallied to win 2-1.And as the 14th clash between
Mourinho and Wenger dominates the storylines while Arsenal look to extend their
unbeaten streak in all competitions to 17 matches (12-4-0), there is also the
matter of overcoming their struggles at Old Trafford.The Gunners woes there
extend back to Mourinhos predecessors Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes and the man
he replaced, Louis Van Gaal. The lone win in their last 10 trips (1-2-7) was a
2-1 victory in the 2015 FA Cup quarterfinals, and Arsenal have been outscored
20-8 in those nine league matches. The streak is highlighted by Uniteds 8-2
thumping on Aug. 28, 2011.Wenger will have almost all of his first-choice
players available except for right back Hector Bellerin, who is expected to miss
a month due to a knee injury suffered in the north London derby versus Tottenham
Hotspur. There was worry striker Alexis Sanchez would not be available after
picking up a leg injury in training for Chile, but the teams joint-leading
scorer with eight goals put that to rest by bagging a brace in a World Cup
qualifier win over Uruguay on Tuesday.I think were even more determined to
achieve something and win the Premier League, but you have to take it slow, said
Sanchez, who has two goals in five lifetime matches versus the Red Devils. We
have a great team, our ambitions are high and we want to win the league.Wengers
top two options to replace Bellerin on the backline are Mathieu Debuchy and Carl
Jenkinson, though Debuchy has yet to appear in a match this season and Jenkinson
has played just two games. Danny Welbeck, who scored the FA Cup winner against
his former team, is sidelined with a long-term injury.Amazingly, Mourinho does
not have a stranglehold on the Manchester United storylines. Captain Wayne
Rooney, a forgotten figure of sorts having started just once in the clubs last
six matches, made headlines for all the wrong reasons this week when tabloids
splashed front-page pictures of him appearing inebriated at a wedding reception
being held at the national teams hotel following Englands World Cup qualifier
win over Scotland.Rooney opted to stay at the teams headquarters rather than
venture out with teammates, but the pictures showed he had a good time all the
same. He released a statement saying he apologised to both the England FA and
interim manager Gareth Southgate -- soon expected to be named the full-time boss
of the Three Lions -- but the incident puts more scrutiny on whether the
31-year-old Rooneys days with the national team are numbered both as captain and
even as a player.Yet there could be a spot Saturday for Rooney, who has 13 goals
and five assists in 30 lifetime matches versus Arsenal, because Zlatan
Ibrahimovic is suspended due to a yellow card accumulation. And this match
seemed tailor-made for Ibrahimovic, the teams leading scorer with seven goals in
all competitions, given how he relishes both the spotlight and the villains role
in these high-profile matches.Im sorry I am suspended, the Swedish forward told
MUTV. I wish I wasnt as its a game I really wanted to play in. But I have trust
in my teammates and the team. I know they can do fine without me.Mourinhos other
options are the kiddie corps of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. Rashford,
of course, burst onto the scene in last seasons fixture at Old Trafford --
scoring two goals in a three-minute span of the first half to power Manchester
United to a 3-2 victory.The Red Devils have not won back-to-back games since
three victories on the trot at the end of September, and given how this seasons
race appears to be more traditional in that all six perennial Premier League
sides and neighbours Manchester City occupy the top seven spots in the table,
this is shaping up to be a contest United must pick up points to maintain their
European aspirations.The team is eager to find a good streak and after defeating
Swansea we are looking forward to playing Arsenal at the weekend, midfielder
Juan Mata wrote on his blog. The top end of the Premier League table is very
tight and we are going to work hard to keep a good streak and approach those top
spots.This will be the 224th meeting between the sides in a rivalry that dates
back to 1894. United hold the upper hand with 94 victories to Arsenals 80, and
the teams have split the points on 49 occasions. Cheap

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Pittsburgh was so darn good in the first half, coach Kevin
Stallings found it easy to forgive his players misdeeds over the final 20
minutes.Jamel Artis scored 15 of his 22 points before halftime, and the Panthers
held off previously unbeaten Maryland 73-59 Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten
Challenge.The Panthers (6-1) shot 67 percent from the floor in the first half,
including 5 for 10 beyond the arc, and used a 25-4 run to build a 46-25 lead at
the break.I thought our team played about as well in the first half as weve
played on both ends, Stallings said. We were alert and active.It was 51-26 with
15:45 remaining before Maryland (7-1) closed to 63-55 with three minutes left,
in part because Pittsburgh shot 26 percent in the second half.Coming off two
come-from-behind wins in the Barclays Center Classic in New York, Maryland was
vying for its first 8-0 start in 10 years.Instead, the Terrapins absorbed their
worst home defeat since falling by 18 to Duke in February 2011.Though coach Mark
Turgeon wouldnt cite fatigue as a factor, he was quick to point out that the
Terrapins were coming off late games on Friday and Saturday.It was a good time
to catch us, he said.Michael Young scored 25 and Cameron Johnson added 11 for
Pittsburgh, which extended its winning streak to four despite being outscored
35-28 after halftime.Melo Trimble led Maryland with 13 points, but he missed 9
of 13 shots. The Terps shot 34 percent, committed 14 turnovers and were
outrebounded 38-36.Trimble insisted that playing for the third time in five days
had nothing to do with it.We like playing basketball; this is what we do, he
said. I dont think fatigue was a factor; its just we couldnt hit shots and they
played well.Pittsburgh led 26-20 before Artis made a 3-point play, a 3-pointer
and a layup to spark a 14-0 spurt that made it a 20-point game.They kind of
punched us in thhe mouth in the first half, Turgeon said. Cheap Bears
Jerseys Authentic. Maryland, formerly of the ACC, is 0-3 in the
ACC/Big Ten Challenge since 10 joining the Big Ten.THE TAKEAWAYPittsburgh:
Despite the late fade, the Panthers proved they can play with some of the
stronger teams in the country. This one erases some of the doubt created by a
nine-point loss to SMU and a five-point win at home against Yale.Maryland: The
Terps have put themselves in a seemingly insurmountable hole many times this
season, and this was no exception. On this occasion, the deficit was simply too
much to handle. Maryland cant afford these slow starts once Big Ten play
begins.ZONED OUTPittsburghs zone defense was a factor in Maryland going 9 for 26
in the first half, including 4 for 16 from beyond the arc.It took away a lot of
drives, Young said. They had to swing the ball around the perimeter.Asked if
Marylands struggle against the zone could be a factor in the future, Turgeon
replied, Please zone us. Were going to be great against the zone.FRIENDLY
FOESStallings and Turgeon were assistant coaches under Roy Williams at Kansas
from 1989-92. During that time, Williams made a comment that stuck with
Stallings over the years and was very applicable on Tuesday night.He used to say
that in the dictionary, the definition of fun was ... winning on the road,
Stallings said. Its hard to win on the road. This was certainly fun for our
guys. And fun for our staff. Nice to come here and beat a good team on the road
in a good environment.UP NEXTPittsburgh faces local rival Duquesne on Friday
night in The City Game, a tradition that started in 1932.Maryland hosts Oklahoma
State (5-1) on Saturday night. The Cowboys are coming off a 27-point win over

IRVINE, Calif. Air Max 2017 Pas Cher . -- Jared Goff draws
most of the attention from Rams fans in training camp.But right now Case Keenum
runs the offense.While Goff had a crowd of more than 2,000 fans groaning when he
fumbled the snap from under center and cheering on a long touchdown pass to
undrafted rookie wide receiver Nelson Spruce, Keenum steadily took the starters
through the Rams first full practice in pads at UC Irvine on Tuesday.Thats what
the Rams hoped would happen when selecting Keenum as the starter before
organized team activities. That decision allowed the quarterback entering his
fifth season in the NFL to oversee the offenses development in the spring and
summer while giving the No. 1 overall draft pick Goff time to get settled.When
Im at quarterback, Im running the show, Keenum said. Its my huddle, its my
squad, its my offense and I am taking ownership of it.Keenums role was evident
over the weekend when starting receivers Tavon Austin (cramps) and Kenny Britt
(excused absence) were unavailable, leaving a group of largely unknown players
available at the position.With rookie Pharoh Cooper held out because of a minor
quadriceps injury, the Rams signed Austin Hill and David Richards on Tuesday,
adding the pair of undrafted former Arizona standouts to a roster that now
includes seven players in their first or second year as professionals.Britt is
the lone receiver on the roster with more than five seasons of experience, while
Austin and Brian Quick are the only Rams wideouts that were drafted in the first
three rounds.Coach Jeff Fisher touted the groups potential, noting they would be
hard to distinguish by switching jersey numbers.Theyre all tall and can make
plays and elevate and make catches, Fisher said. Youre going to get to know
them, especially in the preseason.Were trying to build up and down the depth
chart because two days ago we were down two receivers and we had some new faces
in there, Keenum said. It doesnt matter who you plug in at quarterback, it
doesnt matter who you plug in at receiver, you are expected to
produce.Statistical production was modest as Keenum started the final four games
of the St. Louis Rams era, though he did throw three of the teams 11 total
touchdown passes for the entire season during that stint.However, when combined
with the output of running back Todd Gurley and a strong defense, it was enough
for the Rams to win three games in that span.The same grinding style is expected
whether Keenum or Goff starts the season opener. It could be even more necessary
given the uncertainty at receiver.However, the focus will inevitably remain on
Goff, prompting Fisher to joke that he would open every post-practice interview
with a breakdown of the former California stars performance that day.And then
well go on to other things. Hows that?, Fisher said.That quip didnt keep Fisher
from noting Keenums seemingly overlooked role.He does all the little subtle
things you need to do as a quarterback, Fisher said. He has had a great
offseason.Said Keenum: Im doing my job.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and

Quarterback Will Finch threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and Yannick
Harou rushed in two scores as the No. DENVER -- Apparently itll take more than
the Atlanta Falcons groundbreaking aerial performance against Carolina to
impress the Denver Broncos No Fly Zone secondary.Matt Ryan and Julio Jones bring
the leagues No. 1 offense to Denver for a showdown Sunday between the Falcons
(3-1) and the unbeaten Broncos (4-0).A week ago, Ryan and Jones became the first
duo in NFL history to post a 500-yard passing and 300-yard receiving performance
in the same game.Ryan threw for a career-high 503 yards and four touchdowns
against Carolina.Meh.Not as impressive as it sounds, Broncos safety T.J. Ward
said. There were a lot of broken coverages and guys left wide open. They still
did a good job fighting them, but it wasnt the game that I thought it was after
watching it.Surely they were impressed by Jones becoming just the sixth receiver
in NFL history to post a 300-yard game.Whatever.Just going against a young
secondary, Broncos safety Darian Stewart said. They have big-play players and so
we just have to go out there and play our technique and just play our game. They
didnt do anything different, its just other guys were (using) bad technique and
allowing the big plays.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak wont disparage the Falcons,
noting Ryan is thriving in his second year of Kyle Shanahans scheme. He leads
the league with 1,473 passing yards and a QB rating of 126.3.Those numbers are
real, I know that, Kubiak said.So are these figures from the past three weeks
against Denvers defense:-Andrew Luck came in off a 385-yard passing performance
and was held to 197 yards.-Andy Dalton was coming off consecutive 366-yard
showings and was limited to 206 yards.-And Jameis Winston was fresh off a
405-yard game when he managed just 179 yards.In the week before facing Denver,
those three QBs combined for 1,156 yards, eight TDs, one interception and five
sacks. Against Denver, they managed 584 yards and one TD with four interceptions
and 14 sacks.Weve played a lot of good offenses, Denver defensive coordinator
Wade Phillips said. But this one might be the best.Bring it on, said Ward.We
lick our chops every week. This is another opportunity to go out there and prove
ourselves and put another performance on film, Ward said. It doesnt matter who
we get week-to-week. We want to do our best so it doesnt matter whos coming in
here.The Falcons first trip to Denver since 2014 is dripping with other
subplots:QB CONUNDRUM: Emmanuel Sanders doesnt care if its Trevor Siemian or
rookie Paxton Lynch throwing passes his way Sunday. Lynch had an impressive NFL
ddebut in relief last week after Siemian bruised his left (non-throwing)
shoulder on a sack at Tampa. Air Max 2017 Homme. You dont want to put too
much emphasis on the quarterback position, said Sanders, pointing out all the
young QBs with early season successes. Its about team and its about chemistry.
Thats what its about.MUSICAL ARMS: Denver has won six straight regular-season
games with four different QBs: Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler, Siemian and
Lynch. The previous team to do that was the 1986 Bears (Doug Flutie, Steve
Fuller, Jim McMahon and Mike Tomczak).A great defense always helps, running back
C.J. Anderson said, and then the 10 guys on offense doing their job to make the
quarterbacks job easier. People say its a quarterback-driven league, and all our
quarterbacks have played well with their opportunity. If we continue to do our
job the way we know we can do it, it makes their job that much easier.LINEBACKER
LIMBO: The Falcons have a long list of injuries at linebacker. Sean Weatherspoon
went on IR with an Achilles injury from Atlantas 48-33 win over the Panthers and
rookie Deion Jones left the game with a calf injury. Weatherspoon started
against Carolina with rookie DeVondre Campbell (ankle) out along with Paul
Worrilow (groin). LaRoy Reynolds, Phillip Wheeler and recently added A.J. Hawk
could be called upon Sunday.MILLERS PROPS: Von Miller says two Falcons were
instrumental in his career: 36-year-old defensive end Dwight Freeney and
defensive coordinator Richard Smith, his former position coach in Denver. Miller
called Smith really a catalyst in getting me going. ... Some of the stuff that
he taught me I still use to this day.He also uses the wicked spin move Freeney
taught him one offseason.That was something I really wanted to do, something I
really wanted in my arsenal, said Miller, the NFLs sack leader with 5+.COLEMAN
STATUS: Falcons coach Dan Quinn said backup RB Tevin Colemans breakaway speed
will be on display Sunday. There was some question over whether Coleman would
sit this one out because he was born with sickle cell trait that could
negatively affect him in Denvers mile-high altitude.Hes in great shape and cant

OTTAWA, Ontario -- Guy Boucher trusted his instincts when selecting skaters for
the shootout and it paid off for the Ottawa Senators. Nomar Mazara Rangers Jersey .The Senators
head coach opted to go with defenseman Erik Karlsson and the captain scored the
game winner to give Ottawa a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday
night to open the season with back-to-back wins.Sometimes its just small things
and you follow a gut feeling, Boucher said. Sometimes it works and sometimes it
doesnt. Sometimes you look like a genius and sometimes you look like an idiot,
this time I look like a genius.Despite some struggles through its first two
games Ottawa is finding ways to win. The Senators had a great start on Saturday,
struggled midway, but came back strong and feel they can build off the effort.I
think it was a well-played game by both teams, Karlsson said. We did what we had
to do even though they scored two in the third. It didnt set us back. We kept
going and stuck to our game plan and we didnt let ourselves stray away from what
we felt we had to do to have a chance to win this game.Tom Pyatt, Ryan Dzingel
and Zack Smith scored for the Senators (2-0-0) in regulation and Craig Anderson
had 21 saves.Jeff Petry scored twice and Artturi Lehkonen got his first NHL goal
for the Canadiens. Al Montoya stopped 35 shots.Canadiens coach Michel Therrien
was pleased with the overall effort, but falling behind early made things
difficult.Our execution wasnt there at the start of the game, said Therrien. We
made some adjustments in the second and it seemed to pay off.Pyatt tied the
score 3-3 off a great pass from Dzingel to beat Montoya stick side with 2:33
remaining in the third period.Dzingel was impressive all night and was rewarded
for his efforts, getting ice time in the overtime session.I think Im getting a
little bit more confident and coach is playing me in bigger situations so just
trying to grow my confidence and keep playing the way I do, Dzingel said. Im
bringing pace and speed and thats all Im worrying about.Dzingel and Smith scored
in the first period to put the Senators up 2-0 as they outshot the Canadiens
13-6 and had some solid work on the penalty kill.Dzingel opened the scoring at
the 6-minute mark with a great personal effort as he picked up his own rebound
and beat Montoya short side. Dennis Widemans point shot deflected in off Smiths
skate with 4:10 left in the period.Petrys power-play goal with about 4 1/2
minutes left in the second got the Canadiens on the scoreboard. Lehkonen tied it
at 2:50 of the third, grabbing a loose puck and sliding it through Andersons
legs.Ottawa couldnt capitalize on a two-man advantage for 1:49 as they failed to
create any real scoring chances and the game stayed tied.That 5-on-3 kill gave
us a lot of strength, Lehkonen said. We found a way in the third period to
bounce back and really fight for the win.Petrys second then put Montreal at the
9-minute mark as his shot from inside the blue line beat a screened
Anderson.Game notes D Thomas Chabot and LW Matt Puempel were healthy scratches

was growing up in Lincoln, the cold made the world a small place. You stayed in
your house to avoid the deep freeze just a short distance from the front door to
the car.So fall is not to be wasted, and on Saturday afternoons Id watch the
downtown fill with red -- red scarves and sweatshirts and jackets with the
Huskers logo. So many people poured into Memorial Stadium on game day, they made
it the third largest city in the state. All to watch the Huskers play
football.Back then, I went to the most diverse high school in Nebraska in
Lincoln High, and at the time, minority students made up less than 10 percent of
the enrollment. Compared to the population of the city, the Huskers were a
paragon of diversity, but you would never hear people talk about race when it
came to football players.Nebraska was a football factory before the BCS money
arrived. The young men who wore the uniform were football players first, and
that was it. The team occupied a lofty space that was just a little bit closer
to heaven and definitely above race -- and those boundaries were enforced by an
authority structure that was predominantly white.When 49ers quarterback Colin
Kaepernick first sat for the national anthem this season, the criticism came
quick and hard like a flash flood over the prairie. The deluge didnt quiet him,
and last week the ideas that Kaepernick now kneels for came to Nebraska when
three Huskers, including Michael Rose-Ivey, knelt during the anthem. Nebraska
has become more diverse, and so has my alma mater. Race and injustice is no
longer a conversation limited to the Native American people we took the land
from.Yet it was still something of a shock to see Ivey, standing at the podium
in front of the big red N and discussing police injustice in black communities.
He said someone told him that he and his two teammates should be lynched or shot
for kneeling. He quoted from Martin Luther King. He discussed his own commitment
to the idea of racial justice. He was informed and laid out the very real schism
that exists in our country.Nebraska football gave him that platform.In the
Nebraska that I grew up in, its hard to imagine how Ivey, or teammates Mohamed
Barry and DaiShon Neal, would have kept their scholarships. Even one university
regent reportedly told the the Lincoln Journal Star the players should be kicked
off the team, although hes since walked that comment back.This has been real
life in Lincoln and a lot of other college towns; critical thinking required of
the college student is rooted out of the football player. Its a contradiction
that has always made an oxymoron of football scholarship.My first published
piece, a letter to the Lincoln Journal, criticized funds earmarked for a new
practice facility instead of needed repairs to the library. What does a fan give
up to root for a team, to turn over some measure of judgment in exchange for
that community in focused pursuit? Its not without cost. As Nebraska put
football first, defensive lineman Christian Peter was convicted four times of
assaulting four women from 1991 to 1995 while playing for the Huskers.Nebraska
was where I learned that games need to be taken seriously, for what is bad and
for what is good.The weekend that Kaepernick was spotted sitting during the
anthem was one of those moments. Black athletes risk being lampooned, cut,
excoriated and exiled for bringing their own experience of injustice into the
workplace. Yu Darvish Jersey. The fact that most of the
NFLs fans and coaches are white while most players are black, is a dynamic that
plays into this.For generations, white coaches have wanted the talent, speed and
sweat of black players, but didnt have much use for their opinions. Football,
more than most, is a sport that values the subjugation of personal needs and
ideas to what works best for the team.What Kaepernick said about his gesture has
merit -- the kind of merit that once you hear it and if any part of you can
relate to it, is hard to get out of your head. Last week, I spoke to Giants
running back Rashad Jennings and he discussed the third verse of the national
anthem that invokes slavery. Ive written about tennis player James Blakes pivot
to activism after he was roughly taken down by police as he waited for a car to
the 2015 US Open. Last year, I spoke to then Ebony senior editor Jamilah Lemieux
after Michael Bennett and Richard Sherman discussed Black Lives Matter from the
podium in Seattle.Heres what she said a year ago: Regardless of their political
beliefs, I would wager that most black male athletes know how easily they could
end up a hashtag after a police encounter, said Lemieux. As it relates to social
issues, outspoken celebrities have always been in the minority. However, the
scope of the public conversation around police violence and access to social
media are making it harder for people in the spotlight to remain silent.It was
prescient.Kaepernicks actions arent out of the blue. What may be more surprising
is the response from the 49ers and the NFL. San Franciscos ownership family is
unique in that the team is owned by Denise DeBartolo York and run by her son Jed
York.They recognize the progressive, tolerant culture of the Bay Area, and were
the first NFL franchise to announce they would be applying the Rooney Rule to
their own job searches at the team level.The team is coached by Chip Kelly, an
unconventional coach who has publicly backed Kaepernick when directly
criticized. Then there is the NFL itself, which despite flyovers at games and
flags the size of football fields, said standing for the anthem was recommended,
but not required.If Kaepernick played for another team in another town, he might
not have found that tolerance. Once he did, the idea was out there that players
have the right to protest in their own way even though many fans dislike their
actions.Thats how an idea moves from the Pacific coast and inward, to more
conservative towns and different climates. It reached a high school Camden, New
Jersey, when coach Preston Brown and the Woodrow Wilson Tigers took a knee for
the anthem. It reached Indianapolis when the entire roster of the WNBAs Fever
did the same during the playoffs It has reached the womens national soccer team
with Megan Rapinoe and across countless strata of American fields.Now the idea
has worked its way to my hometown in Lincoln.Im not a fan of the Cornhuskers in
any conventional sense. Ive been a sportswriter too long. But this week, I can
say that Im proud of Nebraska football for letting a young man speak his truth
and reveal so much about himself, and the work that still needs to be done to
make the world a better place. Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys

HOUSTON -- Grambling State running back Martez Carter had to remind himself of
advice he frequently hears from Tigers coach Broderick Fobbs. Derek Stepan Jersey .Coach always preaches
that anytime you make a mistake, it happens for a reason, and you have to have a
short-term memory, Carter said.Carter rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown and
used a dominant second half to help Grambling State overcome a 17-point halftime
deficit and Alcorn State 27-20 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference
Championship on Saturday at NRG Stadium.Late in the fourth quarter, Carter was
nearly in the end zone when an Alcorn State defender knocked the ball loose on
the 2-yard line. Luckily for Carter and the Tigers, receiver Dominique Leake was
in the perfect place to catch the fumble in midair and step into the end zone to
tie the game at 20.Like coach says, every mistake happens for a reason.After a
blocked extra-point attempt by Alcorn State, Carter used his short-term memory
to put the fumble behind him and scamper into the end zone on a 31-yard
touchdown run with less than four minutes remaining to give Grambling State
(10-1) its first lead of the game.Grambling State cornerback Jameel Jackson
intercepted a pass at midfield with three minutes left to secure the win.The
game was a rematch of the 2015 SWAC title game, which Alcorn State won 49-21.
The Tigers won their first SWAC championship since 2011 and 24th conference
title in school history, the most in the conference.They put us in a bind and
dominated us in the first half, but our kids continued to fight, Fobbs said. We
scrambled and made some plays and got some key stops, defensively, and were able
to come away with the victory.After dominating the SWAC in an undefeated run in
the regular season, the Tigers found themselves in unfamiliar territory at
halftime as they trailed 17-0.Once we came in the halftime locker room and saw
how everybody had the same mindset, I wasnt worried at all, Grambling State
quarterback Devante Kincade said. I was ready to get back on the field.Kincade
threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns on 15 of 22 passing despite eight
sacks.Alcorn State (5-6) got 126 yards rushing and a touchdown from DeLance
Turner, who had 16 carries.We gave up big plays and those kinds of things hurt,
Alcorn State head coach Fred McNair said. Its just the way it happened and thats
the way that second half played out, unfortunately.McNair, who was promoted from
quarterbacks coach in February after previous head coach Jay Hopson left for
Southern Mississippi, guided his team past a rocky 1/3 start to return to the
conference championship game. McNair is the brother of the late NFL quarterback
and Alcorn State legend Steve McNair.Grambling State will face North Carolina
A&T in the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl on Dec. 17 in Atlanta, the
same opponent that beat Alcorn State in the same game 41-34 a year ago.THE
TAKEAWAYGRAMBLING STATE: The Tigers dominated the SWAC in the regular season,
winning by an average margin of 31.7 points but had to overcome a sluggish
first-half start to finish the regular season undefeated in conference
play.ALCORN STATE: The Braves dominated the first half and led by three scores
at the break before losing momentum early in the third quarter and the lead in
the fourth quarter.EMERGENCY KICKERAfter Grambling State kicker/punter Jonathan
Wallace was injured on a punting play, he was unable to resume his duties as
kicker. Fobbs turned to CB Abubakkar Conteh, who had never previously kicked for
the Tigers and the team only recently found out played soccer in high school in
Canada. With the exception of the blocked extra-point attempt on a bad snap,
Conteh delivered, converting two extra points and handling kickoff
duties.RUSHING TO CONCLUSIONSAlcorn State won in its two previous trips to the
SWAC title game by dominating the ground game. The Braves more than doubled
their opponents rushing yard totals in the previous two victories and were on
their way to a similar feat on Saturday, leading the rushing total by a wide
margin of 173-96 at the half. In the second half, however, Grambling State
outgained Alcorn State 79-16, a key turnaround that ultimately flipped the
game.PENALTIES GALOREMcNair acknowledged that committing 15 penalties for 134
yards was a major factor in Alcorn States loss of the early lead. Nine of those
penalties for 82 yards were committed in the first half. Comparatively,
Grambling State committed 10 penalties for 95 yards.UP NEXTGRAMBLING STATE: The
Tigers will represent the SWAC in the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl on Dec.
17 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, taking on North Carolina A&T out of the
Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference.ALCORN STATE: The Braves are expected to return
most of their starters on offense in 2017, including QB Lenorris Footman and
Turner, and graduate just three starters on defense. Michael Grabner Rangers Jersey . -- The
Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football
teams. Jaromir Jagr Rangers Jersey . They hope to
persuade the other team owners and commissioner Roger Goodell to put pressure on
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to drop the nickname they find offensive. "Given
the way the meeting transpired," Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and
leader of the "Change the Mascot Campaign," said Wednesday, "it became somewhat
evident they were defending the continued use of the name. http://www.rangershockeypro.com/authentic-joe-kocur-rangers-jersey/
.Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when
High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange
did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. As the focus in
womens basketball is about to shift to the Rio Olympics, lets list 10 quick
observations about this WNBA season thus far:1. Los Angeles appears on a
mission. 2. But so does Minnesota. And maybe New York, too? 3. Seattle rookie
Breanna Stewart is doing super-Stewie stuff as a pro, too. 4. Its going to be a
heck of an MVP race, right to the finish. 5. Indianas Tamika Catchings will
retire without looking like its time for her to retire. 6. Seattles Sue Bird
gives the best jersey-retirement party speeches. 7. Diana and the Refs: A Love
Story is a movie that will never be made ... unless its a satire. 8. Nobody is
that sure which team among those in the East is the second-best behind New York.
Or third-best, or fourth-best, or fifth-best, or ... you get the picture. Right
now, though, standings-wise its Atlanta. 9. Unless something unexpected happens,
San Antonio will have the worst record in 2016. 10. WNBA players definitely keep
up with current events.The league is celebrating its 20th season and has been a
showcase in particular for the Sparks, who are 21-3. But the defending champion
Lynx are right behind at 21-4. Those two are the front-runners for getting the
top two seeds in the new playoff format, in which the best eight teams by record
make the postseason, regardless of conference.The 18-8 Liberty are the only
other team now that would seem to have a realistic chance of taking one of those
two top spots -- which means automatic advancement to the league semifinals.New
York star Tina Charles is the leagues top scorer (21.4 PPG), followed by last
years MVP Elena Delle Donne of Chicago (21.2), Los Angeless Nneka Ogwumike
(19.6) and Minnesotas Maya Moore (19.4). Not coincidentally, those four are in
the hunt for the MVP as well, as is Ogwumikes teammate Candace Parker.Now, lets
take a little more in-depth look at five of the things that have stood out about
what weve seen to this point in the WNBA.Whats not hot in Phoenix?The Mercury
are two games below .500 and will have to battle for a playoff spot. Uh ...
what? Seriously? Yep, believe it or not, that really is where Phoenix is at the
break.Admittedly, not everyone agreed with the leagues general managers about
picking Phoenix as the preseason favorite. But most people did expect the team
would be contending near the top of the WNBAs combined standings. Instead, the
10-14 Mercury have been the leagues biggest surprise ... but not in a good
way.With Diana Taurasi (the aforementioned ref antagonist) and Penny Taylor
back, this was supposed to be something like the 2014 Mercury all over again, or
at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. But its been a team that too often has
not been able to summon a sense of competitive urgency.Phoenix is tied for
second with Minnesota in scoring average at 85.8 PPG, just behind Los Angeles
85.9. The key problem, though, is the Mercurys defense. Theyre allowing an
average of 86.1 points per game, which is second-worst in the league behind
Dallas (88.1). That is the highest-scoring average that Phoenix has allowed
since the 2012 season in which the Mercury went 7-27 and were accused by some
league followers of tanking in hopes of landing the No. 1 pick for Brittney
Griner in the 2013 draft (they got her).Contrast this with the Mercurys 2014
championship season, when they allowed foes just 74.1 points per game.Six
Mercury players will be competing in the upcoming Olympics: Taurasi and Griner
(United States), Taylor (Australia), Marta Xargay (Spain), Sonja Petrovic
(Serbia) and Lindsey Harding (Belarus).Then, it will be back to WNBA work,
trying to make a playoff run. Phoenix unquestionably is talented, and it worries
other teams that the Mercury could flip the switch and really be dangerous. But
so far, their talent has not added up to a winning season.Dont put us in rocking
chairs just yetCatchings and New Yorks Swin Cash will retire when thiis season
ends. James Patrick Rangers Jersey. But theyre
going to be running across the finish line.Catchings is the Fevers leading
scorer (13.7 PPG) and second-leading rebounder (4.5 RPG). The Fever are 12-12
and trying to make the playoffs for the 12th consecutive year.What would have
been an emotional farewell season any way for Catchings has been even more so
with the death of her beloved college coach, Tennessees Pat Summitt. Yet
Catchings doesnt look like a player riding slowly off into the sunset. She will
exit the WNBA still as a key impact player, leaving totally on her terms.As for
Cash, her stats are not what they were in her peak years, but that isnt how to
measure her. This is: Shes still a WNBA starter and one of the true emotional
leaders for the Liberty, a franchise that is still attempting to win its first
title.And after their playing careers are over, look for Catching and Cash to
still make an impact in the sport.Speaking of still going strong ...Bird is not
retiring this year, thank goodness. Although as she reminded everyone at Lauren
Jacksons Storm jersey retirement ceremony earlier this month, her exit likely is
not all that distant in the future. But while Bird, Catchings and Cash are all
still in the WNBA together, please take time to appreciate these three. Theyve
all been such a big part of womens basketball history.Bird, who turns 36 in
October, is the wily veteran on a Seattle team with young stars like Stewart and
Jewell Loyd. Yet ol No. 10 is still showing these whippersnappers a thing or
two. In fact, Bird statistically is having a season thats just about as good as
any in her storied career. Shes started every game for the 9-15 Storm, averaging
32.2 minutes.Her scoring averages of 12.5 points and a league-best 6.0 assists
are highlights, as is her 44.1 percent shooting from 3-point range. Birds best
percentage for a season from behind the arc is 45.9 in 2012, which puts this
year in further perspective. And in August, she, Catchings and Taurasi will play
in their fourth Olympics.A true shooter keeps shootingNo player embodies that
slogan more than Los Angeles guard Kristi Toliver, who perhaps this year will
add a WNBA championship to the NCAA title she won with Maryland a decade
ago.Tolivers famous game-tying 3-pointer in the 2006 national championship game
is one of womens basketballs most unforgettable shots. Shes taken countless
treys since then. But the ones shes hitting this season could end up making a
big difference in whether the Sparks get back to the WNBA Finals for the first
time since they lost to Detroit back in 2003.Toliver is second in the WNBA in
both 3-pointers made this season (63 of 139) and in percentage from behind the
arc (45.3). Sparks coach Brian Agler also points out that Toliver has elevated
her game on the defensive end, and he doesnt hand out defensive praise
lightly.Ogwumike and Parker are the top two stars for the Sparks, of course. But
Toliver, who leads the team in minutes played (32.5 per game) and is the
third-leading scorer (14.0 PPG), is having a terrific season, too.But could it
ultimately end up a rerun of 2015?Yes, it could: The Lynx are just as big a
threat to win it all as they were a year ago. They will be the most represented
WNBA squad on the U.S. Olympic team, with Moore, Seimone Augustus, Lindsay
Whalen and Sylvia Fowles playing, and Cheryl Reeve coaching as an assistant to
Geno Auriemma.The Lynx felt a bit slighted by the leagues GMs, who picked
Phoenix to win. And now Minnesota might feel a lot of the attention in the WNBA
thus far has gone to the Sparks.But with Moore once again cranking out another
fantastic season and Minnesotas core group remaining so cohesive and effective,
seeing the WNBA Finals in Minneapolis again would be no surprise at all. Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys
